Where the Girl Ends and the Geekette Begins

Windows Does not Report All Memory

 It has been about 5 years since I have done a major overhaul to my computer. After tiring of blue screens and reisntalling XP over and over, I decided to upgrade my computer. Now, I have a 2.4 p4 quad core installed with 4 gigs of memory. So, I decided to go back to Vista again to get the most out of the processor.

Here is my problem: It seems even though my BIOS reports 4 GB of memory, Windows only shows 3.x. So, I did some research. Turns out this is a known problem with Windows. The first to fix it is Vista SP 1. So, I am installing it and seeing if that will fix it!

Routing Protocols

 
1. Interior (within an autonomous system
     
    a. Distance Vector - understands the direction and distance to any network connection on the internetwork. Knows how may hops (metrics) to get to that destination. Possible problems include: slow convergence, routing loops, counting to infinity (solved my max hop count). Solutions include: split horizon (cant send back where it came from); hold-down timers (prevent regular updates messages from recreating in tables that it is up); hop count ; Uses seconds hand info

         1. RIP - routing information protocol - 15 hop count maximum 
             30 seconds update
             Route invalid timer 90 seconds
             metrics

         2. IGRP - Interior gateway routing protocol (CISCO) - 255 hop count maximum, reliability factor (255) and bandwidth delay measured in 10 MS. Implements hold downs, split horizons, and poison reverse updates; 90 seconds

   b. Link State - understands the entire network and does not use secondhand information. routers exchange LSP (Link state protocols - hi packets) Each router builds a topographical view then uses SPF (shortest path first) to determine he best route. Convergence is fast. Bandwidth is the measurement

         1. OSPF (open shortest path first) - decisions based on cost of route (metric limit of 65,535) - used in he TCP/IP stack 

         2. NLSP - Novell’s Link State Protocol

    c. Hybrid

EIGRP - (enhanced Interior gateway protocol) combined link state and distance vector - distance vectors triggered by change, not timers; Faster convergence, multiprotocol support

About the Geekette

I am a Computer and Network Technician. I love what I do for a living, as my work is also my hobby.

All of the technical information from the original Aleeya.net site became this site - GirlGeekette dotNet - and the remaining became what is now known as Aleeya dotNet. This site is where I store all of my notes related to computers and Technology so I may share it with others.
